Back to newsCrete is currently experiencing seismic activity, with scientists reporting several strong aftershocks following a recent earthquake. Greek seismologists have stated they cannot yet provide assurances about future tremors, suggesting the sequence may continue. Visitors should stay informed through local news and official Greek civil protection channels (gscp.gov.gr). If you feel shaking, move away from windows and tall structures, and follow instructions from hotel staff. Outdoor excursions in mountainous or coastal areas near the epicenter may carry additional risk during active seismic periods. Check with your accommodation or tour operator before heading to remote locations. Most tourist infrastructure in Crete is built to modern seismic standards, but caution is advised until authorities confirm the activity has subsided.
